Beautiful weather this morning in Boulder as a storm moved through then the sun came out. Looking east from Boulder was better but the webcam view to the west has some nice shots today.
This wave of snow in the early afternoon was pretty cool. The time lapse was also good today but it seems a little choppy. It didn’t capture the interesting weather today as well as I’d hoped.
Love the motion of the clouds. Five minute updates just don’t have the same liquid quality.

I finished updating the images for Oct 19th to Dec 29th last night. What a pain! Some days are missing due to problems with the old image capture code. Hopefully, this will be the last time as we’ve also finished some changes to improve the code. The site will now capture images every five minutes throughout the day and at the end of the day automatically get the daily video about 35 minutes after sunset. Once everything is smoothed out with this project next up is an update the site design and adding back the large images. The last designers made everything fit a smaller screen but that doesn’t really give the full effect. You can see the full size image here.
You may have noticed the image was stuck for the last week. We had a problem with the wireless network that prevented the cam from sending images. I got back to town and put in new hardware and hopefully we should be back in action.
Daily images and timelapse movies have been added for the July 6th to October 19th. I still haven’t been able to update the script that captures images, but it does run on an old server and still captures. I then have to move the files and database manually. Some days the script is having problems and you’ll notice the movie is very long. Working to fix that.
Enjoy the summer and fall updates. If anyone would like to help with this project, please contact me through the about page.
